MammoMARK Triple Twist Biopsy Site Identifier Overview
Authorized Mammotome breast biopsy marker supplier. The MammoMARK Triple Twist biopsy site identifier, part number MMK1003, marks the biopsy cavity after core or vacuum-assisted breast procedures. It combines a 9G titanium marker with a bovine collagen carrier. As a result, radiologists gain a clear reference point for follow-up imaging and surgical planning.
This marker stays visible under ultrasound for up to 30 days, and it also appears under mammography and magnetic resonance imaging. In addition, the collagen carrier increases surface area to support ultrasound visibility during deployment. Because delivery options span multiple modalities, the marker fits many established breast care pathways.

Features of the MammoMARK Triple Twist Marker
The MammoMARK portfolio addresses different lesion types, breast densities, and patient preferences. Therefore each marker uses a specific material and carrier. This model uses titanium with a bovine collagen carrier.
The marker uses a titanium element that provides a permanent radiographic reference. In addition, a bovine collagen carrier surrounds the marker at deployment. Because the collagen increases surface area, it improves ultrasound visibility while the clinician places the marker. As a result, the team can confirm accurate positioning during the procedure.
Studies have shown that collagen can help reduce bleeding by absorbing surrounding fluid. It may also provide a hemostatic effect through direct pressure on the biopsy cavity walls. Furthermore, the marker remains visible under ultrasound for up to 30 days, and it appears under mammography and magnetic resonance imaging. Therefore it supports both short-term localization and long-term follow-up.
Compare a generic metal-only marker against the MammoMARK Triple Twist identifier.
Choosing the right marker matters at every step. Because this identifier is visible across three modalities, it supports imaging follow-up and surgical localization within one consistent workflow.

Clinical Applications
The MammoMARK Triple Twist identifier fits several common breast biopsy pathways. Below are typical clinical scenarios.
Clinicians deploy the marker through MammoMARK applicators during stereotactic procedures. As a result, they leave a clear reference for later imaging.
CorMARK applicators support ultrasound-guided placement. Because collagen increases surface area, the team confirms position during deployment.
MammoMARK applicators enable MR-guided deployment. Therefore the marker suits patients whose lesions are best seen on MRI.
Collagen may reduce bleeding by absorbing surrounding fluid. In addition, it can apply direct pressure on the cavity walls.
The titanium marker provides a lasting reference. As a result, surgical teams can plan excision with confidence.
The marker is compatible with Hologic ATEC devices at a 20mm aperture. Therefore it fits sites already using ATEC systems.
Breast Biopsy Marking Workflow
The MammoMARK Triple Twist identifier moves through a clear clinical sequence. Each step supports accurate marking and reliable follow-up.
Teams choose the marker based on lesion type, breast density, and imaging needs. The Triple Twist shape offers a distinctive profile for identification. Because the carrier is bovine collagen, it supports deployment visibility.
Clinicians load the correct applicator for the modality. CorMARK applicators serve ultrasound-guided biopsies. MammoMARK applicators serve stereotactic and MR-guided biopsies.
The marker deploys into the biopsy cavity after tissue sampling. In addition, the collagen carrier increases surface area for ultrasound visibility. Therefore the team can verify placement during the procedure.
The titanium marker stays visible on mammography and MRI. Ultrasound visibility lasts up to 30 days. As a result, the site remains identifiable for imaging follow-up and surgical planning.
